David Wagman

11 August 2017

Target will support 100 megawatts of wind generation in Kansas through a partnership with Infinity Renewables. The deal supports Infinity’s 474 MW Solomon Forks Wind Project and is intended to offset 100 percent of the energy used at 150 Target stores throughout the region.

The Solomon Forks Wind Project covers 50,000 acres near Colby in northwestern Kansas. Construction is slated to start in early 2018 with commercial operation targeted for the fourth quarter of 2018.

London-based custom compounder Teknor Apex has teamed with waste gum recycler Gumdrop Ltd., also of London, to convert that discarded gum into a raw material for commercial-grade thermoplastic elastomers, or TPEs, to make rain boots, smartphone covers, and other products.
